Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra night at the 5‑star resort for a spa treatment or a sunset cruise, which will increase the budget by roughly ₹15,000‑₹20,000. To shorten the stay, consider dropping the second night at the 3‑star resort and heading to the 5‑star property earlier; this reduces accommodation costs and still offers a luxurious finale while keeping the total well under the ₹3 lakh limit.
